1960's Chinese Mao Zedong Political Poster

About the Item

This Chinese political poster prominently features an image of Chairman Mao Zedong, with the iconic green military uniform and red star cap, a common portrayal during the height of Mao’s leadership in the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). The red characters at the bottom translate to a reverent slogan about Mao: "Long live Chairman Mao, the reddest and most beloved sun in our hearts!" This phrase exemplifies the intense cult of personality surrounding Mao during this period. During the Cultural Revolution, posters like this one were mass-produced as tools of propaganda, emphasizing loyalty to Mao and promoting the ideological fervor of the time. The depiction of large crowds of people holding up Mao's "Little Red Book" further reinforces the collective spirit and the ideological indoctrination of the era. The poster is typical of the time, with bright colors, simplified figures, and a focus on the strength and benevolence of Mao as a leader, reflecting the heavy influence of socialist realism in Chinese art. Such posters were instrumental in communicating political messages to the masses, creating a sense of unity and devotion. Measurements : 112 x 82 x 2 cm - 44.094 x 32.283 x 0.787 inches frame included. The poster will be shipped insured in a custom made wooden case. The price includes transportation to the US and the custom made wooden case. There is no import duty to be paid on Art.
